The Lyra Six was a 6×6 folding camera, a copy of the Zeiss Ikon Ikonta. It was made by the Japanese company Fuji Kōgaku.
An ad in the Sep 1938 issue of Asahi Camera showed all the Lyra range, with the Lyra Six, the Lyra Flex, the Semi Lyra and the Baby Lyra. The Lyra Six was offered with a choice of three lenses:
- f:4.5 lens for ¥72 (bad scan, prices hard to read)
- f:3.5 lens for ¥85
- f:2.9(?) lens for ¥105(?)
The case was not included in the price.
The Lyra Six also appeared in a 1938 price list of a dealer called Shinbi-Dō (眞美堂 in old writing), offered with three lens variants:
- a f:2.9 lens, for ¥90
- a f:3.5 lens, for ¥72
- a f:4.5 lens, for ¥60
A version with body release was offered for a supplement.
Yet another ad has been observed, from the Oct 1939 issue of Asahi Camera, where the Lyra Six is offered together with the Lyrax (see this page). A number of versions are listed, but the ad is illegible.
A later variant of the Lyra Six has an optical finder contained in a top housing.
